In 2017, when Gripple first introduced its UniGrip single-channel fasteners to the construction market, the subsequent UniGrip 2, 3, and 4 Cable Hanger range held the highest safe working loads of any comparable Gripple Cable Hangers to date—120 lbs, 240 lbs, and 550 lbs, respectively.
Now, joining our UniGrip 2, 3, and 4 Cable Hanger family, is the UniGrip 6. The UG6 is the only single-channel cable fastener on the market capable of accommodating 1/4” (6mm) cable, and boasting a Safe Working Load of 800 lbs. The UG6 now allows the trapezing of heavy-duty duct and multi-tier piping runs with cable hangers.
The extended ¾” stud on the Central Exit version of the UG6 allows for the suspension of both single strut trapeze systems and back-to-back strut trapeze systems, as well as making for easy suspension of multi-tier trapeze systems. The Side Exit version of the UG6, via its ¾” stud, can be used for suspending clevis hangers and (like all Gripple cable hangers) allows for easy tool-free height adjustments as needed with the push of a button, which can then be locked down when the installation is complete.
Gripple is a global, 100% employee-owned company that designs, die casts, manufactures, and pull-tests all of our fasteners ourselves from our headquarters in Sheffield, England. Since 1998, Gripple has been known for developing new and improved products for the suspension of services in Construction, with the goal of making a contractor’s job easier and more efficient. We are continually working to increase the capabilities and safe working loads of Cable Hanger Systems. And now, the UniGrip 6 sets the bar a bit higher for single channel fasteners (and cable hangers in general) by opening the door for faster, easier, safer, and more carbon friendly installations of heavy-duty HVAC services and multi-tier piping runs, as compared to traditional, labor-intensive, and heavy suspension methods like threaded rod.
